More KVUE Blogs
|
Look who I spotted in the parking lot of my ex-gym, Castle Hill Fitness? It's SO-113, otherwise known as State Rep. Mike Krusee, R-Round Rock. Krusee, as you may recall, was charged with DWI last week and spent a night in the pokey. (He did not take a breathalyzer test, which is what most DWI attorneys -- and liberatarians - advise.)
While awaiting a court date, he's still driving -- and apparently stayin' in shape. (Castle Hill trainers give you an excellent workout.) I called Krusee after spotting his car, because a source who first spotted him wondered whether he should still be driving: Him: Hey, it's Krusee. DPS tells KVUE the answer is yes, Krusee CAN still drive. His license was revoked but he has a temporary permit to drive until his court hearing in Williamson County, on May 27th. There, a judge will decide the provisions under which Krusee can stay behind the wheel. Here's another question. A Public Data search shows Krusee's SO plates actually expired last December, but it's unclear whether the plates are actually expired, or whether he renewed and it's simply not in the system yet. We'll check his registration with the Wilco Tax Assessor Collector. UPDATE 10:39pm: A fellow blogger asked me if the earlier conversation with Krusee actually happened, because he "didn't know whether it was one of those In the Pink fake interviews", referring to our friend Eileen and how she pens imaginary interviews on her blog. The above conversation did happen, and I'll go ahead and make a policy of no imaginary interviews on this blog, since this is a "mainstream media" outlet. The other PJ policy is no reporting on polls unless our parent company paid for it. 6 CommentsLeave a comment |

There's too much politics in Texas to fit into a newscast, so the fun continues here.

ooo a 5 series
Goolsby is supposed to send out reminders and registration information about the SO plates to members in December. He forgot to do it last year, so a lot of members didn't renew their registration.
He sent a letter out today about it, apologizing and reminding members to renew their plates. That's probably what happened to Krusee.
Joe: Thanks for the info, that's good to know. I would have approved your comment last night had I not been too busy waiting for Lake County, Indiana. :)
This Rick Perry shill has some incredible arrogance. He really should not be allowed to drive TILL AFTER his court hearing date (assuming it's determined that he can afterwards).
Is this "temporary permit" something that everyone with a DWI arrest in Williamson county gets OR is it because he's in public office?
Bob, anyone can get the temporary permit after a DWI in which they have refused the breathalyser. This is an occupational license, and is available through a judge.
This sounds like a (bad) Lifetime movie. Talk about rock bottom.
Oh, Krusee...
